Oracle WebLogic WSAT Remote Code Execution

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112524

Synopsis

Oracle WebLogic WSAT Remote Code Execution

Description

The remote Oracle WebLogic server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the WSAT endpoint due to unsafe deserialization of XML encoded Java objects. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted Java object, to execute arbitrary Java code in the context of the WebLogic server.

Solution

Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update from October 2017. If the WSAT component is not applied in the WLS cluster, an immediate and temporary workaround is to delete it and restart the WebLogic domain controller service.
